Section 7 -- Ghost BIOS

Making BIOS Recovery Disk:

1. Run the Thunder Flash utility.
2. Connect to the internet.
3. Insert a blank floppy disk into floppy drive and click "LOAD".
4. Keep this floppy in a safe place for future use.

1. Choose to recover from BIOS Recovery Disk floppy, insert the floppy disk created earlier and click "1".

2. Choose to recover from mainboard system driver CD, insert driver CD into optical drive and click "2".

Note that system driver CD consists only of Safe Mode BIOS. Proper BIOS must be updated
after it's recovered.

Ghost BIOS helps you to recover from a corrupted BIOS situation, which normally would leave your system unable to
boot. Ghost BIOS lets you repair the BIOS yourself saving the hassle of returning the mainboard for repair.
